TRADING STANDARDS INSTITUTE’S ANNUAL CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION:
2001 TO DATE
"Congratulations again on Crescent Events delivering an exceptional TSI Conference and Exhibition. You can be as proud of your achievement as we are in having such a superb events contractor."
Ron Gainsford, Chief Executive, Trading Standards Institute
"I have attended the TSI Conference several times and have been pleased to speak on behalf of Marks & Spencer twice. The conference has been organised on all occasions by Crescent Events Limited. The organisation has been impressive. The event always runs efficiently, so much so that one does not notice the organisers who carry out their duties under Joyce Borthwick’s leadership with the minimum of fuss. As a speaker I have been impressed by the support that is provided…. Nothing is too much trouble. One can be sure that all the deals are taken care of. I would recommend Crescent Events without reservation."
